Update: This project was dead, but it's back! Unfortunately my daytime job keeps me somewhat busy, so don't expect the project to emerge in a couple of years.
Saya is a programming project aimed to create a cross-platform, versatile, extensible Nonlinear video editor with features available in commercial editors like Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas or Edius Pro. The project was started in June, 2008, died in 2009 and was revived in October 2010.

I'll reserve the superpowerful magical swords for major releases, like ClaiohmSolais, Ascalon, Balmung or Excalibur. The earliest milestones will have wimpy names, like "baselard", "arrow", or "cutlass" :P
